My missus will bring home any old stray ...

Been to the vet a couple of times, blood test, pee test. She doesn't have diabetes, which was the vets biggest worry after her first visit, more likely to be kidney stones.

Got a 1 week course of tablets, then back for a checkup.

Never seen a dog so utterly ecstatic to see me in the morning when i take them out. Our two stand there wagging their tails, she is stood upright, shouting and bouncing up and down :D


In a tricky situation now, we've just had a litter of kittens arrive and the mum (Wendy) is very jumpy around this new dog. Which is a bad thing as panicked mums kill their kittens or just abandon them. Either way it's a bad ending.
Wendy spends most of her time upstairs (where dogs can't get to) but the noise of the excited dog is still making her a bit scatty. We've asked a friend if she can look after the stray while she gets healthy (she's now working on her husband to agree!)
 
Ugh, tough situation and one I'm glad I'm not in :(

I guess it's a good job you took some photos when you found her because now you've cleaned her up she looks like new. I'd be tempted to keep her but you've got the financial burden and the burden on the family. Depends if you've got the capacity for one more.
 
We've got the capacity, we just need the cats to be used to her overnight. And we've got another 3 litters due inside the month. (Dave made the most of the warm weather when all the girls came into season at once)

She's got a brilliant trick which is making me laugh, when i got back from the school run she's seen me open the front door, then run off and come back with her lead in her mouth hinting for a walk :D awesome :D

The following is a purely hypothetical situation.

A person stops off to buy 2 cans of coke nearby to where a stray dog may or may not have been found. There may be a poster in the window. The shop keeper may say it was brought in by a group of kids this afternoon.

It might be asking for information about a missing dog, "a straggly looking westie" which got out YESTERDAY....

Just hypothetically, what would you do?

Send them a photo of the dog now and say you're keeping it because they can't look after it


If there are any vets bills for this pooch, I'm sure some of us animal lovers would help chip in mate

Surely she must have been trained to do that? Makes you wonder whether she got lost away from a caring family or not...

My parents dogs used to do it, and they weren't trained to it, this dog could have been though. The caring family thing.... i'm not so sure.

Isn't she chipped? They normally have the details of the owners on them don't they?

Checked her at the vets, no chip.
 
Reading through this thread reminds me of my Gf.She is the same as yours SB,when we see a dog/cat loose on the streets she's already making plans for them.I'm glad we don't have the place for all those animals otherwise...:D
And we already have 2 dogs and 3 cats.Those cats aren"t the problem,the dogs eat more than we can afford(figure of speach offcourse) :p
 
Poor dog, I’m glad she is in safe / caring hands now. Hope her problems are treatable so that she can have some good years to look forward to.

I can see you keeping her :D
 
She's still peeing for england, but the volume seems to be increasing slightly each day, which i think shows that the stones are dissolving giving her more capacity in her bladder.

Another bath, bit more hair clipped off, frontlined her too.

Follows me around like a shadow :D Can't tell if that because she was always with somebody OR she was always on her own and is enjoying having some people interaction. I'd love to give the people she ran away from the benefit of the doubt, but ....
 
Say it ain't so. You have to keep her now! Work something out, for the love of god, work something out.

Also, really well done doing all this, not only cleaning her up but paying the vet bills too. It's great to here and you should get some kind of custom "pet saviour" title.

Right now we're on a rota, dogs have the run of downstairs most of the day, Wendy is in the master bedroom under the bed with her kittens and Lola is in the extension asleep waiting to pop.
Then the dogs go into the porch (1.3m x 2.5m) for a couple hours and the cats get to stretch their legs.
Then we hunt high and low trying to find Lola (before she has kittens under the sofa again!) and then dogs come back in.
